Do I need to do the BMAT to get an interview ?
Thats a very broad question !
If you apply to a BMAT uni you will need to complete the BMAT to be considered for interview.
If you apply to a UCAT med sch you will need to do UCAT.
You can apply to a mix of BMAT and UCAT unis.
This is based on the assumption you are asking about undergrad med.

Nothing really other than the statistics section and the math
but I can practice for it honestly you know it’s just which is more Needed the UCAT or the BMAT for entry since the UCAT is in four weeks and I’m practicing for it .(edited 8 months ago)
the ucat is used for the majority of med skls in the UK whereas the BMAT is only used for 6 universities. I would suggest doing both but if you can't priorities your ucat since it gives you a wider variety of options. The bmat this year is taken on the 18th of October so you still have time to prep. Just to be clear, if you wanted to go to Oxford, you have to sit the bmat
